"Morning honey, what's for breakfast?"
"Morning dear, I made your favorite: a pb&j sandwich with crispy bacon."
"Oh, you really know me well."
"Of course I do, silly. I'm your spouse. Hurry up and eat, you're going to be late for work."
"Okay, okay. Wow, this looks delicious."

"Here's some milk to wash it down."
"Thanks, you're the best, honey."
"Oh stop, you're making me blush."

"Use a napkin, you're making a mess."
"Sorry, sorry."
"Oh, what would you do without me?"
"That's why I fell in love with you."
"Enough with the smooth talk, you'll really be late. Here, I made you some sandwiches for lunch."
"Alright, I'm going to work now, honey. I love you."
"Love you too. Don't forget to wear your mask!"

"Dear. Dear. Wake up, dear!"
"Huh? What time is it? Oh, honey. What's the matter?"
"Shouldn't you be preparing for work? It's almost time for you to leave."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you last night. The company told us that they would be reducing our work schedule. So, I don't have any work today."
"Really? Okay, you should still come down for breakfast. I made some grilled cheese and tomato soup."
"That sounds scrumptious, honey."
.......
"'I'm so stuffed. Your cooking really is the best, honey."
"It's only so good because of my love for you, dear."
"Aw, honey."

"Hey, no touching in the kitchen. Let's go back to the bedroom."

"Honey, I'm home!"
"Welcome back, dear. Did something bad happen? You don't look so well."
"It's the company. They decided that there were too many people so they laid some off."
"Oh no. Did you get laid off?"
"No, but they reduced my shifts. I only have three shifts this week."
"That's too bad. We'll have to start managing our bills carefully until you can get some more work."
"Yeah, I'll try to see if my friend can help me out."
"Come on and sit down. I made dinner."
"It smells great, honey."

"Honey, they laid me off."
"What?"
"They laid me off. I don't have a job anymore."
"They actually let you go after twenty years of service? Those heartless bastards!"
"Don't be too angry at them, even one of the head managers was let go. It's all because of the current economy."
....
"Honey, what are these?"
"Oh, those are grocery receipts. What's wrong?"
...
"That's because I was trying to cheer you up! I knew that you were tired of the frozen food so I—"
"I can't believe you've been wasting that much money on food! Do you even realize how little money we have!"
"Is this really coming from the one that's been spending everything on alcohol and cigarettes?"
"..."
"Don't pretend like you haven't! I've been smelling them in your breath every single day. Also, what happened to your friend? Didn't you say he helped you find a job? It's been months but there hasn't been any money added to the account."
"That… that was a—"
"You lied!? What have you been doing every day then?
"Enough! Why don't you try getting a job?"
"Maybe I will."
